Which of the following oxides is most basic?(a) $\mathrm{Bi}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}$(b) $\mathrm{SeO}_{2}$(c) $\mathrm{Al}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}$(d) $\mathrm{Sb}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}$
Step 1
(a) Bi2O3: Bismuth (Bi) is a metalloid in group 15. (b) SeO2: Selenium (Se) is a non-metal in group 16. (c) Al2O3: Aluminum (Al) is a metal in group 13. (d) Sb2O3: Antimony (Sb) is a metalloid in group 15. In general, basicity of oxides increases as we move from Show more…
